Only half of the Shenji Battalion was dispatched this time, almost two hundred people, including horse thieves and new recruits. But now it’s hard to tell who is who just by looking at them, because in just a short while down the mountain, they were all in order.
They all lined up in front of Xu Zizhen, and apart from the occasional snort of horses, there was no noise at all.
Bu Fenyue came out of the crowd with a nervous look on his face. When he saw that Xu Zizhen didn't look injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's going on? Who to save?"
Xu Zizhen's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We don't have time to talk nonsense, let's go!" He turned around as soon as he finished speaking.
Liu Feng immediately grabbed him with his eyes: "Brother, please stop! There are thousands of cavalry around Yuan Size. Oh Ye is afraid..."
"Fart! He will never die! He..." Xu Zizhen glared and roared, but fell silent in the middle of the sentence. He clenched his hands tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were prominent. After a moment, he raised his head sharply and said decisively, "Follow me back.
, if there is something wrong with Daye, I will tear Fu Size into pieces and bury him with him!"
The entrance to the valley can only accommodate one person in and out. It is narrow and deep. Ohno occupies the entrance of the valley in a one-man-control posture. The cavalry cannot charge. It is really hard to say whether he will survive. But Xu Zizhen thought of the number of people on the other side, and his heart suddenly became cold.
Come down.
Xu Zizhen took a deep breath to calm down, and asked Qian Tongzhi and Du Jin to go back to Lanzhou through the mountain road. Firstly, they were not the type to fight, and secondly, they could inform Wen Chengyan of their own situation in time to save them from worrying.
Although Qian Tongzhi was powerless, he refused to leave at this juncture no matter what. However, after Xu Zizhen whispered something to him in a low voice, he suddenly changed his attitude and rode away without saying a word.
go.
The appearance of Bu Fen and the Shenji Battalion here was Xu Zizhen's previous arrangement. Originally, his idea was to bring Yu Size out of the tunnel. After arriving here, they would take care of him. Even if there were pursuers behind him, he would not be afraid.
He has long been familiar with the terrain, and the two hundred divine machine battalions plus double-barreled shotguns are enough to hold off thousands of Xia soldiers.
But after all, the plan could not change as quickly as it did. The old fox Yuan Size had already guessed his intentions. What was even more unbelievable was that he would risk his own life to lure him into the trap. If Ohno hadn't appeared in time and disrupted Yuan Size's plan,
Encirclement, I really have to be "glorious" in this northwest territory.
…
It was not easy for more than two hundred people to move quickly, not to mention that the Xixia army had to not notice that even with Bu Fen, an old horse thief, they could not speed up. Xu Zizhen was so anxious that he wished he could fly to Daye all of a sudden.
But he had no choice but to follow the progress of the Shenji Camp.
The mouth of the valley is getting closer and closer, and Xu Zizhen's nerves are getting tighter and tighter. But the strange thing is that the mouth of the valley is not far ahead, but there is no movement here at all. Xu Zizhen's face becomes more and more ugly. There are so many people in Yuan Size.
, it is impossible for there to be no sound, unless Daye has died in the battle and Yu Size has retreated to death.
Thinking of this, he slapped his mouth fiercely. Regardless of everyone's surprised looks, he asked Liu Feng to go ahead and take a look at the situation. Although he had thought about the worst outcome, he somehow always had the feeling that Ohno would not be so easy.
die.
The group of people stopped. Liu Feng followed the abandoned horse and walked one step ahead, walking along the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. He quickly disappeared and hurried back after a moment.
"What's going on?" Xu Zizhen asked anxiously.
Liu Fengsui shook his head: "If you go over there and take a look, you will see that there is no one at the entrance of the valley."
Xu Zizhen couldn't hold it back any longer and spurred the horse with a tap of his foot. Bu Fen waved his hand and the Shenji Battalion immediately followed and soon arrived at the mouth of the valley. When everyone saw the scene here, they were all stunned on the spot.
The ground was full of corpses.
"Daye!" Xu Zizhen jumped off his horse, jumped to the pile of dead people, and started looking through the pile of dead people. From the mouth of the valley to the inside of the valley, there were no less than fifty people lying a hundred paces away. Xu Zizhen turned over from one end to the other, and found no one.
Ohno was there and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
If he wasn't here, he would probably be out of danger, Xu Zizhen said in his heart, but he also knew that he was just lying to himself. The Xia people were brave, and no matter how powerful Da Ye was, he couldn't defeat one against a thousand.
Seeing that Xu Zizhen's face was ugly, He Liangliang wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to say it, so he jumped off the horse and looked around for clues. After looking for a long time, he couldn't find anything, so he simply climbed up the mountain. There were mountains on both sides.
The steep wall was very steep, but He Liangliang was a thief and his climbing skills were much better than ordinary people. He was as fast as a monkey. He climbed up in a short while, holding the crack in the stone with his hand and looking around at the high place.
With.
After a while, he quickly climbed down again, pointed to the southwest and said urgently: "Brother, Yuan Size is over there."
Xu Zizhen jumped up immediately: "Chase!"
A half-circle from the entrance of the valley leads to the southwest. Yuan Size did not enter the valley, but went to the southwest. Perhaps he was blocked by the field for a while and then realized that it was too late, so he gave up chasing Xu Zizhen. Outside the Xingzi Fort, he was already shot by the cultivator.
The Song army was in chaos and could not go back. Not far to the southwest were Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi, the important border towns of Xixia. He must have settled there first and then tried to fight back against the Song army.
Xu Zizhen thought of this in an instant. There were also large armies stationed in Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi. The two hundred or so of his men were no better than moths rushing to the flames. However, there are advantages to having fewer people, that is, the speed can be increased. As long as
Just stop him before he enters Zhuoluo City.
The speed of Shenji Battalion immediately increased, and the soldiers split into two groups and rushed up the hillsides on both sides, moving forward along the mountains and forests. Xu Zizhen and the people of Tianxiahui rushed up on the plain without any cover, heading towards He Liang.
The two men chased each other in the direction they discovered.
Not long after, a dark figure appeared in his sight. It was Yuan Size and his two thousand men and horses. His infantry and cavalry had gathered together. There were more people, but the speed could not be increased. Xu Zizhen could not hold himself back.
Liao Jin drove all the way, and Yun Size's handsome flag soon appeared in his sight.
The smoke and dust raised by the hooves of more than a dozen horses attracted the attention of Xia Jun. Someone immediately reported to Yuan Size. Xia Jun lined up in formation and turned to face Xu Zizhen. Yuan Size was cautious by nature and did not greet him immediately.
He went up and looked at Xu Zizhen quietly.
After a few miles, Xu Zizhen rode his horse and stopped not far in front of Xia Jun. He pointed at Yu Size from a distance and shouted: "Old dog Yu, save your life for me!"
Yuan Size didn't seem to have heard Xu Zizhen's rude words. With a wave of his hand, he separated into two groups of cavalry and formed a wing shape to outflank Xu Zizhen and more than a dozen people. The infantry retracted in place and the short crossbows were set up again.
Xu Zizhen sat upright on his horse against the wind, exuding a strong fighting spirit. His eyes were fixed on Yuan Size, completely ignoring the Xia soldiers who were outflanking him.
Yuan Size came out of the crowd, stood in front of the formation with one hand holding the reins, glanced at the people around Xu Zizhen, and said with a smile: "Master Xu is really brave."
Xu Zizhen naturally knew the meaning of his words. With a dozen or so people chasing him, it looked like they were looking for death. He snorted and replied: "Stop fucking nonsense, I have to kill even one person."
You avenge my brother!"
Yuan Size was still not angry, and said with a smile: "Oh? Mr. Xu's brother?" After saying this, he clapped his hands, and suddenly several soldiers escorted a man around him. His clothes were torn and covered with blood, and his face was streaked from the left to the left.
There was a stab wound on his face that reached to his right eyebrow. The wound was so deep that the bones could be seen, and the skin and flesh were turned up in a horrifying way.
Xu Zizhen looked carefully and saw that the bloody man was Oh Ye. He was overjoyed to see that he was still alive, but the blood all over his body made him feel a sharp pain in his heart.
